No anal peasant, he!
One of John Lennon's sons-not the first one-recently called a fan who questioned the Lennon estate licensing of his late father's image for a car commercial, an "asshole," and just to be clear, a "peasant," as well. (Or, in other words, baby come and drive John, he's a car and we've sold out/in, so fook off.)

Well, yes, of course, most of us not a lucky shareholder in Lennon Inc. are but lowly serfs and servants

As noted previously in this space, it is difficult to believe that there is much "unseen" Lennon out there such was his profile, but then again, with so many shutters being clicked, and no Internet, where would all the pics have gone? Not enough trees for that, mate.

Moving roight along, but still in the same general forest, we've just now 'eard from olde Apple hand and author, Tony Bramwell, whose 2005 book, Magical Mystery Tours is still wheeling along. But who the 'ell is this Royal Rosie Kingslander also listed on the cover of the well-received tome? Never 'eard of 'er, I'm afraid...

Yet, yes, olde Tone seems to be on his bike and well on the way to becoming one of the top "go-to" boys on the Beatles as so says Paulie Macca.
